GoPro Hero 3

Hey guys, i've got the gopro hero 3 black edition and have already worn it during paintball, but it has not yet been shot. I know the previous gopros can survive a hit but what about the hero 3. It's got a different case and everything and it is quite expensive. If yours has been shot and survived can you let me know as I really dont want to break it haha!
Cheers,

GoPro is excellent especially for paintball where you are going to be struck by a projectile. Unlike a Contour, a hard hit can break the outer lens, whereas the GoPro is protected within a clear case.

The other nice thing about a GoPro is the ability to go narrow view instead of wide view. Wide view playback has pincushion like a fisheye distortion and will give you motion sickness unlike narrow view which is undistorted and more natural video.

Just had my hero2 shot up at castle conquest. Used it many times no problems, except a direct hit took out the screen, lens and mounting ring for the lens. I did however have a replacement plan from bestbuy, which got me a new hero3 and no cost.

thats good to hear im about to get a go pro hero 3 silver, i looked at silver vs black and there really isnt that big of a difference look on youtube. the silvers are $215 brand new on ebay right now and the black are like $150 more
